I’ll be a dictator – but only for one day.
I solemnly promise: I’ll make it a fun day!
I’ll close down the border; start plenty of drilling.
(Two days might be needed for all the fulfilling.)
There’ll just be that one day (or two) of dictating,
and then I’ll get back to my regular hating.
No truth to the claims anyone’s overheard
that my dictatorship may spill into a third.
Of course, there’s a chance that the havoc I’ll wreak
might take more than three days; perhaps even a week.
But whatever I do – all will be for good reasons,
so don’t be alarmed if it takes several seasons.
It shouldn’t take more than a year (one would think) which
by then all this clout I’ll prepare to relinquish.
However, by Year Two I’d be in a rhythm,
and as for Joe Biden – might not be done with him.
But no need to worry about civil rights
as I settle old scores and avenge bogus slights.
Once I’ve been re-elected and set on the loose
a brand-new Constitution will be introduced.
I’ll grant myself powers that used to be shared
by three branches of government. Now, don’t be scared
since, as dictators go, I’ll trend toward the benevolent
and only occasionally be malevolent.
So please vote for me, I’ll assuage all your fears
as I stage a take-over for weeks, months, and years
and don’t plan to step down at my next term’s expiry.
Just know what you’re asking for if you rehire me.
